For this reason the river water is polluting drastically day by day. The river is also filling up with the sediment of silt. In our work the bacteriological and chemical pollution parameter of the river has been detected. Some coliform and Enteric bacteria such as Alkaligenes, Escherichia coli,...

Six textile dyes were selected for decolorization tests, these were Red ME6BL, Orange ME2RL, Turquoise Blue BGF, Turquoise Blue RSPL,Yellow 4G and Green 3R. 85 strains were isolated from the textile dyeing effluents and finally 25 strains were selected on the basis of their decolorization potentiality. Selected 25 isolates were studied in detail for provisional identification. Out of 25 isolates 21 were Gram positive and 4 were Gram negative aerobic bacteria. . Out of 25 strains only 2 strains viz. Bacillus cereus and B. subtilis were able to decolorize Red ME6BL and Orange ME2RL within 16...
